Hello! I live in the US (California) and I'm a new addition to GOG (making the jump from console to PC). I tried making my first purchase earlier, but my payment was blocked by my bank, apparently because a lot of banks don't like Cyprus. I know I could call my bank and work it out, but even if I try to have them approve future payments, I frankly don't trust that there wouldn't be more problems with them down the road. I plan to use GOG regularly going forward, and I'm looking for the best method of payment so there won't be any issues. I've read that PayPal is the way to go, but beyond that I'm not sure how I should go about it, so I wanted to ask GOG users more knowledgeable than myself. Would it work well enough setting up PayPal to take funds from my bank, or is it more effective to add a balance to PayPal and just pay directly with that?

Thanks in advance!

I also have to second paypal. While I can pay woth my debit card, despite the purchase being in USD, the bank adds a 4% foreign currency conversion fee to any transaction with GOG. Paypal does not

GOG's wallet is nice and the two step identification system works now. Getting the money to the wallet I leave for others' suggestions.

Thank you all very much for your help!
